Learning is FUN

I really enjoyed this project. As a student, I think that when teachers incorporate a fun aspect into their teaching style it makes learning fun and memorable. Literacy practices can be taught in many different forms, whether if its making a song, playing a game, incorporating social media, fairy tales and fantasies, and much more.

For example, when it comes to history some students struggle with this subject. I think that making a rap song or a song in general can be beneficial in helping them learn and retain information better. In a teaching environment, I think that sometimes teachers forget that not all students learn the same way. I think that incorporating different teaching styles and techniques can help each student learn.

Although I am not going into the teach field, I will be working with students and I feel that this project will help me help them. I believe that it is important to inform yourself in different areas of teaching that not only benefit yourself but others as well. I have younger cousins who are in grade school and these techniques and styles will allow me to help them and show them that learning can be fun.

I enjoyed each groups presentation because they were all different and engaging. They were able to incorporate a lesson plan that made learning fun, interesting and engaging. My group was based on adolescent literacy, identity and social media. We had everyone make a Pinterest board and had them pin 10 different things that represented them. I found this to be hard because I felt that the 10 pins that I posted did not entirely represent who I am but gave an idea of what I like. I really enjoyed doing this project because it goes to show that learning can be fun!
